- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

About our bath re-enamelling in Christmas Pie
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Christmas Pie
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Christmas Pie and the surrounding area
Christmas Pie is about 2 miles east of Ash, in Surrey. Book a date that suits you, and we will give you an arrival time in advance, so there is no waiting around. Christmas Pie is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our jobs stretch from Christmas Pie to London (31 miles away).
Jobs in GU3 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include Cull's Road, Westwood Lane and Flexford Road, and we cover them all. We also travel to Flexford (1 mile north), Wanborough (1 mile south-east), Normandy (1 mile north), Puttenham (1 mile south) and Willey Green (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (7 miles north-east), Camberley (7 miles north), Farnham (6 miles west), Egham (14 miles north) and Walton-on-Thames (15 miles north-east).
Around Christmas Pie

Well-known places in the area include Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east) and Guildford Castle (4.3 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Ash Ranges and Hog's Back.
- Local facilities include Seale and Tongham (2.6 miles south-west)
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Christmas Pie

Other services in Christmas Pie
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Christmas Pie
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
